With Nebraska’s (6-2) win over Michigan last week they are in the driver’s seat in the Big 12 Leaders Division and while they do not face a ranked tam the rest of the season facing Michigan State (4-4) at home will be a tough test. <\/p>\n
Venue\/ Stadium: Spartan Stadium, EAST LANSING, MI<\/strong> ATS Matchup Stats<\/a> | Gambling Insight!<\/a> | Buy Ray’s Picks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n No. 20 Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Michigan State Spartans Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n The Huskers are won 2 straight games and after 2 close losses the Spartans got back in the W column in their last game beating a ranked Wisconsin team. NCAAF lines have Nebraska as slight 2-point away favorites with a total of 44.5.<\/p>\n In their last games Nebraska beat Michigan 22-9 and Michigan State beat Wisconsin 16-13 in OT.<\/p>\n On the season Nebraska is 4-4 ATS and they have an Over\/Under record of 4-3 and Michigan State is 3-6 ATS and they have an Over\/Under record of 1-7-1.<\/p>\n Nebraska is the favorite in this game, but they are only 1-2 on the road this season.<\/p>\n Nebraska may be without RB Rex Burkhead, who has a knee injury, but the Huskers still have Ameer Abdullah and dual-threat QB Taylor Martinez, who have a combined 1,177 rushing yards and 14 TD’s. They will be facing a MSU rushing defense that ranks 7th in the nation and totally stuffed the run against Wisconsin only giving up 19 rushing yards.<\/p>\n The running game is the strength of the Huskers, but Martinez can air it out and he has a good WR corps. He has to avoid the turnover facing MSU and their 14th ranked, as he has 4 INT in his last 2 games.<\/p>\n Nebraska has played great D in their last 2 games giving up a total of less than 500 combined yards and they have really excelled on 3rd down D. MSU does not have a dynamic offense, but QB Andrew Maxwell had a solid game against Wisconsin passing for 216 yards with 2 TD and 0 INT. RB Le’Veon Bell ranks 15th in the nation averaging 117.9 rushing yards per game. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n While Nebraska has a solid pass defense ranking 8th in the nation, but while their run defense was solid against Wisconsin they only rank 82nd in the nation.<\/p>\n These teams have met 6 times, but not since 2005 and the Huskers are 6-0 all time facing the Spartans.<\/p>\n In some betting trends for this Big 12 match up Nebraska is 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games, and they have an Under record of 7-3 in their last 10 conference games.<\/p>\n Michigan State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games, 15-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, and they have an Under record of 5-0 in their last 5 home games.<\/p>\n Jason’s Pick<\/strong>: I think Nebraska will struggle on the road again, as Bell will have a good game as will the Spartans’ defense. Michigan State will move to over .500 with a win in this conference match up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nebraska vs Michigan St. Odds & Prediction With Nebraska’s (6-2) win over Michigan last week they are in the driver’s seat in the Big 12 Leaders Division and while they do not face a ranked tam the rest of the season facing Michigan State (4-4) at home will be a tough test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":26284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[39626,324,327,56939,766,769,56937,56938,4002],"class_list":["post-56975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-39626","tag-college-football-odds","tag-college-football-predictions","tag-cornhuskers-vs-spartans","tag-ncaa-football-lines","tag-ncaa-football-picks","tag-nebraska-cornhuskers-vs-michigan-st-spartans","tag-nebraska-vs-michigan-st","tag-week-10"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/193"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56975"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57002,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56975\/revisions\/57002"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
